Alva
Commander, Miss Groza, I remember what I received was a meeting invitation.
Commander
Relax, Alva, we're just here for some chit chat. All of this is part of our routine—checking on new members and how they're adapting to life onboard the Elmo.
Alva
No need to worry about me, adapting to changing environments is a basic skill—this place is plenty comfortable already. But if I had to nitpick... the presence of a cat or two would make Elmo even more perfect.
Groza
Cats? I remember seeing a few at Springfield's café...
Commander
But it might be a bumpy and perilous ride for these little ones if we are to bring them along with us.
Alva
You're right... I wouldn't like to see them getting caught in the middle if a gunfight. Life can be very fragile.
Commander
After all these years, you still have a soft spot for cats.
Alva
Yes, I just can't resist those soft little things.
Groza
Ah... Come to think of it... Mmm...
Commander
Hmm? Did you think of something?
Groza
Yes. Even though we don't have a real cat, we do have a Doll whose behavior is very "cat-like"...
Commander
Oh right, we have Peritya.
Alva
If she allows me to touch her ears or hold her, I wouldn't mind treating her as a substitute.
Commander
Emm...
Alva
Just kidding, Commander.
Groza
Still, we should find a time to introduce both of you.
Commander
I suppose. Peritya's always been quite elusive and unpredictable. You probably haven't met her yet, Alva.
Alva
That is the case. Thanks to both of you, I'll be looking forward to that rendezvous.
